Date Night With Daddy

A few weeks back, David had suggested taking the girls for an overnight outing to one of the local hotels and spending some concentrated time with our daughters.-He had some points saved up from travel and was able to book a night for free. The girls were ecstatic to pack an overnight bag and head off for dinner and swimming with their daddy - no mommies allowed.

After work, David picked up his two anxious daughters and headed off to dinner. Then he checked into their room and headed - of course - to the pool. I received text and picture updates through it all. And then after being away from the girls for about 2 hours, I headed over to the hotel to check out the fun. They were swimming, enjoying home baked cookies, and loving all over their daddy.

I consider myself one lucky lady to have such an amazing husband and father who is willing to invest his daughter's lives. I try hard not to take him or his commitment to our family for granted. I know our girls will remember this night for many years to come.

Quote of the Month

Your marriage is the only example your child has of what an intimate relationship looks, feels, and sounds like. So it's your job to set a great standard.

My Babies

Yes - I gave birth to these two beautiful, silly,amazingly precious little girls. I claim them as mine!

Following Jesus isn't something you can do at night where no one notices. It's a twenty-four-hour-a-day commitment that will interfere with your life. That's not the small print - that's a guarantee - Kyle Idleman

Me

Welcome new readers!!! For those of you who do not know me, I am a 30 something mother of 4 beautiful and precious little girls. I was blessed 13 years ago to marry an amazing man whom I find extremely attractive after all these years. I am more in love now than the day I was married. Besides "playing mom," I enjoy a career as a nurse working with individuals suffering from eating disorders. This job is my dream job and something I have wanted to do for quite some time. I'm blessed to have been able to have found it. Life seems to be flying by me. There are days when I can't wait to crawl into bed and bury my head and there are days in which I never want to forget. I use my blog as a way of journaling some of those very special moments. I am also using it as an outlet and an outreach. Feel free to read through. Hopefully you will get to know me and my family a little bit better.

David

David is a man who was brought into my life and has forever changed my soul. He is a hard working, handsome, respectful, kind, compassionate, honest, and loving man whom not only works hard outside our home as an environmental biologist, but works extremely hard inside our home to be the husband, father, and spiritual leader God has called him to be.

Mattea

Age 6 - A fun loving, free spirited little girl who is full of laughs and giggles. Mattea is independent and strong willed - but has a heart that far surpasses my expectation of a 6 year old. Mattea enjoys swimming, gymnastics, reading, playing mommy to her baby dolls, and loving all over her baby sister.

Paloma

Age 4 - Paloma used to be a serious, sometimes silly, sassy, sleep deprived little girl. Most recently she has emerged into an amazingly sweet toddler. She is patient, polite, and playful. She continues to be the spunky, stubborn, strong-willed, sweet child that we have all come to know and love. She enterd pre school this year and is thriving. She loves learning and "doing homework" with her sister. She has taken a liking to coloring and drawing. Paloma loves to go swimming and participate in just about any activity her sister is involved in.
